The Travel Starter Setup + How do I upgrade? [$500]
Same way we started our home espresso journey after overpaying for lattes and flat whites. I still use our Nano at the office and when we travel. Once we determined (wife and I) this was something we wanted to keep doing at home, but more efficiently, I went into the deep research dive. I have adhd,

Sold my Profitec Go for a Jura as a new parent. Huge mistake. Back to basics, help me choose. [500-1500]
You might also want to look at the Gemilai Ele (G3028A). It’s around $700 (depending on sales), so it sits nicely between the Go and the more expensive prosumer machines. It has a dual heating system (brew boiler + thermoblock for steam), dual PID, and an adjustable OPV, which is a pretty compelling

My end game!
I almost pulled the trigger on the Legato V2 (same platform as the Gemilai Owl), and it’s a solid machine, but I went with the G3028A because for a small bump in price it gives me more of what actually matters day-to-day: The e61 like group head keeps temp super stable and consistent, and stronger s

Which Beginner Machine to get?
Pansamantagal Gemilai 3028A + DF64. I suggest df64 since df54 is lacking to grind finer on medium to light roast with HE baskets. Then temperature and pressure control was a nice to have for more experiments.

Sub 30K max Expresso machine(?)
Lol yes, misleading yung spec sheet nila. Just keep in mind that there are 3 heating types in espresso machines: Thermoblock:How it works: Water flows through a heated metal block.Pros: Fast heat-up time (often <1 min), energy-efficient, compact, budget-friendly.Cons: Lower temperature stability, we

Advice needed
Short answer: Yes We've had the gemilai ele g3028a since about February and it has been a great machine. We have it paired with a Starseeker e55pro conical burr grinder and it's been a great setup so far. We pull about 2-4 shots each day with 2-3 of those being milk drinks. With it having a stainles

Upgrade from BBP ? [$1000]
Maybe Gemilai Ele G3028A? Seems to tick most of your boxes, though aesthetics are subjective. It also has a temp probe in the steam wand so it'll stop at your desired temp which may be useful if you do a lot of milk drinks. It's basically an upgraded apex/legato, but with the downside of being force

Thinking of upgrading to a Lelit Anna 2 (PID) — worth it? Any owners here? Alternatives under $1,075 CAD? [$1075]
Gemilai also released ele G3028A or a cheaper model owl G3006 you can check those too. I was on the ropes for Anna but the 57mm was a deal breaker for me and I could not find anything better than G3028A in my budget. It’s basically 3007Z + Temperature Probe for steam wand, if you are not looking for
